N12s indeed look cool, and waste weight as well. But the weight saved by using shinies can lead to even cooler thingsYea, thats true.
You might want to try that

And in stock, all wheels are the same, excepted from size and weight. So for your design, shiny hubs are the best.
EMERGENCY, PREPARE TO GET THE STUFFING- er, BATTERY JUICE BEATEN OUT OF YOU! BWAHAHAHAHA!
1. Never use angle connectors, they're a waste of weight
2. Always use shineys if possible
3. Try to fit in one black
4. Download RFS AI v5.0 to start off with, and progress to starcore.

5. top razors do nothingThere's your awnser enigma. The only way they could do something is if this was a juggler, but it quite obviously isn't.
That actually wouldn't be a terrible idea, a Juggler would be cool, methinks.5. top razors do nothingThere's your awnser enigma. The only way they could do something is if this was a juggler, but it quite obviously isn't.
N-12's aren't grippy? It seems like it. Maybe it's the motors? I'll start the makeover right now.Nope, wheels are the same for grip in stock IIRC
The razors on top can damage a bot's underside if it get's on top of him. I guess it could double as protection against hammers...
...that is if a bot could get on top of him every now and then.
Is this good?

Meh, it looks OK. I would take out the pinks though because two blacks is plenty of power.
Yes, that is my bot. I named it after inf because he makes alot of bots like that.Once again, you're showing signs of improvement, take it to your showcase for discussion though.Is this good?

Sometimes when I have a lot of components, it won't let me put on any more.Your awnser as to why, is in this link https://gametechmods.com/RA2wiki/index.php?title=Rule_of_Seven (https://gametechmods.com/RA2wiki/index.php?title=Rule_of_Seven)
Sparkey, please offer good advice. Let the guy progress at his own pace
Does anyone have any cool ideas for a reasonable name?
The chassis wasn't tall enough for a Supervolt. He's a really good bot, though.Then make the chassis a slight bit bigger, and use a black(or 2)
Sheesh! I clicked the link the FIRST time it was posted. I just can't ever use their tips due to the "Rule of 7".
Who says he has to be symmetrical? It makes him look abstract, which is cool.
*facepalm*
Grrr, I'm becoming less perceptive by the second.No wait, I think I figured it out.
Yeah, that's a good point, unless it's a trinity SnS aswell somehow XD
Err, no.Grrr, I'm becoming less perceptive by the second.No wait, I think I figured it out.

The front end weighs it down and then just simply pressing the fire button causes them to activate.
(Or something like that)
He needs to read the stuff on the beetlebros tutorial, and he needs to keep working on a single bot instead of building new ones.He says he's read that stuff before, carrying on telling him to isn't gonna make him learn that stuff, but yes, he could do with lurking more to pickup some general tips.
and one of the staple points of efficient robot building.Dont forget
Yes, it does. Both flippers can actually flip now.I think he meant to just use them to hold the wedges in place, as mounting them on Snappers/DDTs lets you have more accurate angles for easier ways to get under other robots.
I like Heavyweights best, I have 800 kgs of freedom and I don't have to worry about going into another weight limit when I upgrade my bots with your suggestions.This.
Hey G.K, have you seen the little advanced guide on attaching weapons that Jack Daniels (I miss this guy :/ ) posted in my showcase?He'll be back
Do you think I should repost it here?
What's the best weapon for a rammer?Iron Spikes. And lots of them.
What's the best weapon for a rammer?
I agree with both of you. As Spark said, before you move onto another project, try to finish and refine the last one first. Afterwards, like Enigma said, use lots of Iron Spikes in your upcoming rammer. There's a very good example in the Beetlebros' guide, and enough tips to build it. The link's spread everywhere in your showcase :PI said to do that in a thread that was stickyed but deleted when I got home today, weird.
and set up the razors like thisOnce again
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/84063screenshot_61.png)
Or maybe I should just make him Overkill and not care about the weight at all.Don't do that!
Yes, very good.I was thinking the same, but I don't know if he could fit in Zteks.
I don't know about the drive motors though, but if you shrink the chassis and place the control board over the battery wou'll have even more weight for weaponry :P
unless you're VenkoUhh... I don't get it. The magic of joining much after things happened. :P
Stacking blacks is easier then stacking stupid control boards in blacks.
There is my theory of "anything is possible if you try it for a long enough period of time"
That glitch is used on moving objects. Batteries or CB's cannot be attached to anything movable.Err yeah, that's eFFeing BTW.
There's a very useful tutorial video somewhere, I can't look for it now though.
My other theory of you never noticing humor.There is my theory of "anything is possible if you try it for a long enough period of time"
Fine, try stacking 9 billion zteks.
^ Thanks for being so useful :P ^My eyes tend to hurt quite easily by looking at screens and stuff, so yeah.
Scorpion, I can spend two full days stacking something and not a cell from my skin would fall off. Why that hate towards Stock?
And by the video tutorial, I meant about stacking rather than eFFeing. Though Sage made both :P
Why in the Nine Hells are you showcasing your dentition ????For the lulz?
No seriously... showcasing your own TEETH, and that probably in pure innocence. And with a drawing, like we're dentists rather than bot builders.I think he's trying to derail his own thread...
How much more random can you get ?
Normally you should get a warning, but that was so absolutely over the top (while probably not on purpose) that I will pass and just stare in disbelief.
You're really immerse in this Wiki editing thing, eh? :P
8. 6 is kinda easy. :PMounting 8 razors on 2 DDTs is easy.
Mustang seems pretty good
Showcase cleaned.Doit.
I am absolutely sick of FOTEPX going passive aggressive and trying to rationalize his spamming, trolling and attention whoring.
I think he needs to be banned. brb, going to alert the other admins.
I just did it. I now feel like deleting his showcase. But I don't know if it would work on driving him out of these forums / improving his behavior... and it might be bad for PR as well.You should put his showcase in the Failground again. :trollface
No wait, why do I care for PR ? I'm a villain !

Already did that, no improvement was shown.
Or I could lock both of his showcases and if he unlocks them, make sure no new bots will be posted... unless he improves, of course.
Just another one of my mediocre bots.Like mine are any better >__>
J your bots are good.Compared to everyone els?
Rule of 7. You can't go past 7 chained components.Erm yeah...
Errr... try this: 0-degree anchor -> 20cm sideways pointing to the front -> HPZ system off that frontmost attachment point.
Then just extend your plow so the motor's protected behind it.
1. Use 1 black, more power and less kg's. And I thought you knew your stock. A Nifty's fine for this.
2. Use a different weapon, Ice Picks have normals. Not necessarily. Curved hammers are somewhat a waste of weight here, so ice picks are a good weapon choice.
4. Get a wedge HA! Build one with a wedge and make sure it's good.
6. Get Starcore, and watch how quickly that gets ripped apart. SCv2? :trollface
I'm very low on ideasYou could try what I do, and make robots that fit 'teams' you make.
And I thought you were improving...
1. Use 1 black, more power and less kg's.
2. Use a different weapon, Ice Picks have normals.
3. Tell us what the armour is
4. Get a wedge
5. Get more weapons on that hammer
6. Get Starcore, and watch how quickly that gets ripped apart.
And I thought you were improving...What a nice way to treat others. especially the ones that listen more than you do.

I noticed his drive motors are a little spread apart.Bad Idea on a VS, mate.
You could get some more room out of your robot if you bring them closer together.
....Also, you could replace both ramplates with 1 plow, via the eFFe glitch.
That should help you save some weight and add more junk to it.
Why? Because the frontal weapon would somehow weight it down-like?I noticed his drive motors are a little spread apart.Bad Idea on a VS, mate.

Angle the ploughs so they are like this :
_
/ \
Front
It creates a trapping effect that makes it easier to keep hold of bots.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/73910Mars%20Rover%20-%20Probe%203.PNG)
My first bot that I used the eFFe glitch on.
How something that crap can be capable of doing that is just plain luck. I've seen LW's with the same bursts.Could have been more tactfully put.
You mean Possessed Bee.Try eFFe glitching, Sage made a tutorial video if you need one. That should allow you to get them with equal reach without wasting too much weight.
Extenders can't fit exactly in line with the side ones, but I bet if I were to angle them diagonally, I could get away with it.
Stock flails? Stock flails.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/92202Unleashed Virus Splash.PNG)Needs moar razors, only needs one wedge, use DDT's for weapon motors, yada,yada,yada.
-What armour?
I notice there are no Battleshots of HS on there. :P

All those bots are Horizontal Spinners.
What version of Starcore you got?
Since the sawblades do damage regardless of them spinning...
Plus, even with axles, it's still good at gut-ripping, too.Like I said, sawblades are just larger razors, but aren't as powerful.
-Use Shiny Hubs.Razors are better then irons.
-Use irons, not razors.
-Take off the ramplate.
Only in some cases.-Use Shiny Hubs.Razors are better then irons.
-Use irons, not razors.
-Take off the ramplate.
Here they are though.Only in some cases.-Use Shiny Hubs.Razors are better then irons.
-Use irons, not razors.
-Take off the ramplate.
-Use Shiny Hubs. Pop-ups need low-ground clearance so it's easier to get under bots and harder for others to get under it.
-Use irons, not razors. Razors are more damaging than irons. Even though they're more fragile, they suit pop-ups better because it's difficult to knock them off, since they retract back into their hidey-hole.
-Take off the ramplate. Why? Pop-ups need protection to fend off Horizontal Spinners, too.
I can't see the point of the plows, though.
I might give it Rubber WheelsYou were planning on removing the side plows, so....
Anything with a single wedge (heck, a single EMERGENCY wedge, even) sticking out by just 20 cm is going to get under that...Or how about he just uses 140cm square extenders, keeps the blades and uses more razors with the saved weight? :rolleyes:
Use more extenders to make the wedge narrower and you won't need the blades for protection, or at least shorter ones.
what is the point?
Blades on the wedge extenders, if ya can get the weight for them.what is the point?
I dunno, protection protection?
Guess I'll trade them for a longer wedge (Or maybe something else if you guys can suggest something better. I can't fit a castor anywhere.)
The entire robot is red extenders.
Can you lower the chassis wedge on Firebrand?
Firebrand has too much drive if you ask me, you may be able to get a couple more razors of you downgrade to Z-Teks.This. Hell, he can even get them to be Redbirds.
Firebrand has too much drive if you ask meHow is that a bad thing?
Not enough weight left over for weaponry or defense.Yea, thats true. But it still helps him to launch things better.
What's with the T connector on the back of Thunderhand?
Very retro. Y connectors, servos... haven't seen those in a while. What's with the T connector on the back of Thunderhand?
What is the deal with the snappers? I can't quite make it outthe drive is on them
Have you tried 8 irons and a wedge?
Have you tried 8 irons and a wedge?
If I can ever get away with this I will post it.
Totally RAD vertical spinner (Shouldn't they be called RAMs, though?)and i think the weapon is too slow for it's own good.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/75283Thpider.PNG)
Thpider, had some fun eFFeing to make this. 798.8, DSA, 2 Blacks (Happened to get the stack right away). Complete with 24 spinning irons and full underside caster protection.
Maybe it will get to Round 2.Called it.
Does that actually drive straight? Or at least straight-ish? It would be pretty good if it does.
Oh, so basically, it kicks things?
Looks good, especially for a 30 minute build. Is it actually good?
isn't that just ninja from restocked?

I needs more protection IMO.
I think you should use a setup like this:(http://i.imgur.com/jlLvhg8.jpg)
